Rich history, famous names
The Northcote, Birkenhead and Glenfield
areas have been fertile soil for the
development of rugby in Auckland.
Northcote Rugby Club began life more than
80 years ago and was only the second rugby
club to form on the Northern side of the
harbour when it first fielded teams at Stafford
Park in 1929. In 1930 it won the first of it
nine senior championships.
Today it based at the Harvey Wright Fields
on Recreation Drive in Birkenhead. These
fields were developed in the mid 1970s by
club volunteers, led by club stalwart Harvey
Wright (father of All Black Terry Wright).
The Northcote Rugby Club has produced
numerous fine players over the decades,
included many who have gone onto play for
the All Blacks, New Zealand colts, Maori and
sevens teams.
Famous Northcote Rugby Club names include
All Black and Auckland legend HL (Snow)
White who played for the All Blacks from
1953-55 and played an astonishing 196
games for Auckland
from1949-63; All
Blacks Ron Dobson (1949), Ron Williams
(1988/89) and Richard Turner (1992).
The Glenfield Rugby club was formed in the
late 1960s, at time when development in the
area was transforming it from strawberry
fields and market garden to new suburbs.
It was originally set up under the umbrella
of the Northcote Rugby Club and played its
first games at the soccer fields on Archers
Road in Glenfield, before moving to land
and clubrooms provided by the council at
Kaipataki Park.
Like Northcote, the Glenfield Rugby Club
was formed and grew through the efforts of
volunteers and enjoys a strong junior rugby
base.
Glenfield’s most famous rugby son is
undoubtedly All Black second five Walter Little
(1900-98) who formed such a formidable
midfield pairing for the All Blacks with his
North Harbour centre partner Frank Bunce.
